Ms Bischoff's colleague at Caloundra Hospital, Linda King, told the service of Ms Bischoff's dedication to her job as a nurse.

Ms King described Ms Bischoff as the most "over-qualified nurse" at the hospital, saying she had avoided promotion because she wanted to dedicate her time to her daughter and her care for her mother, Jean Bischoff.

"Noelene was a really good person, in the broad sense of the word.

"Fun-loving and intelligent company, and she helped Yvana's development as a good person.

"Is this the case of only the good die young?"

After the service the family thanked the community for their support.

"Our only comfort comes in knowing that Noelene and Yvana went together. They were inseparable and it's hard to imagine how either of them could have gone without the other," Ms Bischoff's niece said.
